mahara groups: fun for all the faculties - maharauk13
DESCRIPTION
Presentation delivered at MaharaUK13. A whirlwind tour of some practical approaches to using Mahara Groups for collaboration, peer learning and feedback, just-in-time self-support, information dissemination & archiving. This presentation is intended to illustrate that while students own their Mahara Portfolios, the tool doesn't need to be exclusively for students.TRANSCRIPT
